Interestingly, masturbation provides a host of health benefits for women. A recent study noted that masturbation is a natural sleep aid for many women. In addition, solo sex can often provide pain relief from menstrual cramps and sore joints. But perhaps the best reason for women to masturbate is simply that it leads to self-discovery. Because female orgasm is not as automatic as male orgasm, masturbation can help a woman learn about what works for her.

If you're looking to maximize the pleasure you get from G-spot stimulation, you might want to look into the G-spot shot. Watch this video to learn more about this procedure.

Some women claim that G-spot orgasms are even more powerful than clitoral ones. Unfortunately, the Grafenberg spot needs constant pressure and direct stimulation to effectively bring a woman to orgasm. And unless a woman is already aroused, it can be nearly impossible for her or her partner to find. This is why G-spot amplification or the G-shot was invented. This simple needle injection procedure is administered by doctor's who believe in it's efficacy. To do it, a doctor injects a bulking filler of collagen or hyaluronanic acid into the general area of the G-spot. The idea is that the bulking caused by the injection makes the G-spot bigger and easier for a woman and her partner to find.

The G-shot costs between $1,200 and $1,800 and it is NOT covered by insurance. With a price tag like that, the obvious question is "Does it work?" In a word: doubtful. There aren't any clinical trials showing that G-spot augmentation works, nor is the procedure FDA-approved. And while injecting collagen into the human body isn't unprecedented - that doesn't mean that the procedure works to enhance sexual sensations in the genitalia. Much more important than the cost or the effectiveness is the issue of SAFETY. The medical profession has no idea if G-spot amplifications are safe, and all procedures, no matter how 'minor" carry the real potential for complications. So, until there is hard data showing the safety and efficacy of the G-shot, women would be wise to hold off on trying it.

Before you penetrate, focus on foreplay, making her pleasure your utmost priority. If you wait until she's fully stimulated to enter her, she probably won't know-or care-what size you are! There are a few sexual positions can help you make the most of every inch. Start with that tried and true favorite, rear-entry. Or try the "rabbit ears" position. Have her lie on her back and bring her knees to her ears. She should hold her knees there as you penetrate her.

During female orgasm, the vaginal walls contract rhythmically every eight-tenths of a second, for anywhere from 20 seconds to a full minute and a half! But without your BRAIN, this incredibly pleasurable sensation simply wouldn't be possible. For orgasm to build, the 8,000 nerve endings in your clitoris send a message of excitement to both the spinal cord and vagus nerve, which carry incoming information from the nervous system to the brain. When you hit your climax, a brain region behind the left eye, called the lateral orbitofrontal cortex, shuts down completely. This area is the foundation of reason and behavioral control. So it's completely accurate to say that you "lose control" during orgasm.

A great way to prepare for multiple climaxes is to pump up your pubococcygeus, or PC, muscles! Find them by stopping your stream of urine when you go to the bathroom. Your PC muscles can be the key to multiple orgasms, since pulsing them during sex increases blood flow, allowing you to maintain arousal. Another secret? Aim to orgasm for the first time before he enters you. If you have one big-O early, you're likely to have another post-penetration.

Decades of data show that pelvic fitness can help reduce bladder control problems and postpartum vaginal laxity, and may diminish, delay, or even prevent pelvic organ prolapse-all good reasons to start kegeling. But the truth is the biggest benefits of strong Kegel muscles- and the real reason so many women are instantly hooked - show up in the bedroom. A woman's Kegel muscles play a huge part in her orgasmic response. If you have a weak pelvis, you may have a hard time having an orgasm, or, at the very least, you will not have the powerful, intense orgasms that you could be having.

Vaginal muscle spasms. During an orgasm, she will experience about three to ten muscle spasms, which you should feel gripping your penis. Or look in her eyes. Women experience dilated pupils when they cum. During oral sex, you'll be able to gauge her climax (or lack thereof) based on how her genitals look. Right before orgasm, a woman's clitoral hood will retract this is the "don't stop" point. In addition, her vaginal lips will swell and redden when she's about to cum.

Many women are their most passionate while she's ovulating and immediately afterwards. Ovulation is the time of the month when an egg is released from the ovary and travels down the fallopean tubes in the uterus to be fertilized. At this point, she releases extra hormones that make her more in tune with her senses-especially smell and touch! Every woman has a slightly different cycle length, ranging from 20 to 60 days, although a typical cycle is about 28 days. Generally, a woman is ovulating (and craving sex!) about 14 to 16 days before the start of her period. Women who take hormonal birth control do not ovulate, and therefore experience fairly steady levels of desire throughout the month.

Study after study shows that 80% of women do not orgasm from intercourse alone. The clitoris is the powerhouse of the female orgasm. Logan: Which is part of the vulva outside not inside of the vagina. Ian: Right, 90% of the nerve fibers that contribute to the female orgasm are located on the surface of the vulva. So I like to say that many men through no fault of their own are what I call "illclitorate." Many men need to get "clitorate." They need to understand that the clitoris is the powerhouse of the female orgasm and foreplay is coreplay.

Water-based lubricants, like Astroglide and Liquid Silk, are designed for use with sex toys and latex contraceptives, like condoms and diaphragms. These formulas are designed to be non-irritating to the body-good news for people with sensitive skin. The downside? They dry up faster than other forms of lube. Meanwhile, silicone-based lubricants can't be used with silicone sex-toys, but they're fine with latex. Silicone lubes, like Eros, last longer than water-based ones. Finally, oil-based lubricants, like Vaseline, are an option for some sex play, like hand jobs. But these lubes are NOT safe with latex, however, as they can break down the material!

Probably one of the biggest myths is that the hymen has to break in order to tell if someone is a virgin. Here's the thing, the hymen is a thin tissue that partially covers the opening to the vagina. And most women, most girls will tear their hymen long before they've ever had intercourse for the first time. So the answer to that is no, the hymen doesn't have to break or pop. Some women experience bleeding the first time they have sex, the first few times, some do not.
